Verifying Rack Dimensions

Chapter 4 Cisco ASR 1006 Router Overview and Installation

Rack-Mounting a Cisco ASR 1006 Router

The Cisco ASR 1006 Router can be installed with both front or rear rack-mount brackets. The chassis rack-mounting flanges are secured directly to the chassis before you lift it into the rack. For installing Cisco ASR 1006 Router rack-mount brackets, go to:

•“Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets” section on page 4-9

•“Chassis Rear Rack-Mount Brackets” section on page 4-10

Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in Figure 4-5.

Step 1 Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails.

The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).

Note Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack posts are parallel.

Step 2 Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack.

The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis which is 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
